Exhaustion

We're all exhausted.
I've been drinking much more tea than normal, and today 6 of my students slept through conflict management and on in to recess.
Yesterday they were out of control for the last hour of the day. I felt like all I did was say, "Sit down, pay attention, stop touching your neighbor, don't play with the squeaky door..."
Turns out they were standing up and wandering off and hitting and because if they didn't they would fall asleep. I'm still learning to balance stimulation with calm activities. Worksheets and 'table assignments' with moving and being up and running around. A little more 'traditional school' will do us all a little good. Too many adventures aren't a good balance for any of us.
Today they were much better. Tomorrow I will let them nap more, and realize that their wiggles are their way of keeping themselves awake when they so desperately need time to recharge.
